[SRU] Difficult to distinguish which tab is selected

Bug description:
[Impact]
* When a user opens multiple tabs in GNOME terminal all tabs are styled in a
*very* visually similar manner. This makes it very hard to distinguish between
the current active tab and all the others and on a HiDPI screen pretty much
impossible.
* This fix has been ack'd by design and was targeted for X but didn't
get reviewed and OK'd in time. Design team have approved this
styling.
* This bug is fixed by extending the CSS specifically for Terminal
(i.e. no other applications are affected) giving the active tab a
darker background colour (using only theme defined colours) and
reworks the borders around the tabs to remove the graduated image
borders that only look right on a light coloured background. Changes
have been made for both Ambiance and Radiance.
[Test Case]
* On a stock 16.04 install open GNOME Terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
* Open five new tabs (ctrl-shift-t)
* Click on the tab in the middle
* Note that it is hard to see at a glance which tab is currently selected
* Close Terminal and all open tabs.
* Install the patched theme
* Open Terminal and open five new tabs
* Click on the tab in the middle and note that it takes on a light grey
background compared to the unselected tabs which are dark grey.
[Regression Potential]
* The patch only addresses tabs that are placed at the top of the window.
However this is the only option in Terminal, so should not cause any problems.
* There is a work-around to match the "actions bar" (the bit with the
dropdown selector and + button). This bug is supposed to be fixed in v3.20 and
could be removed. This is commented in the CSS.
